THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THE MULTI- LATERAL TREATY.
(Previous
Reference: Cabinet 30 (28), Con- clusion 3.)
1. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
informed the Cabinet that he had received
Mr Kellogg's further communication covering
the revised Multilateral Pact, which was now
being examined in the Foreign Office. Before
making any proposals to the Cabinet he wished
to receive a Report on the subject from Sir
Cecil Hurst, who was at present at Geneva with
Lord Jushendun, where he would have the opportu-
nity to exchange views with the French and
German Legal Advisers, M. Fromageot and Herr
Gauss. The situation was not without consider-
able difficulties, partly owing to the fact that
the American Secretary of State had not gone very
far to meet the criticisms of the original draft,
and partly owing to the desire of some of the
Dominions to accept the draft without further
comment. Sir Austen Chamberlain asked the
Cabinet to give him a little time to obtain
reports from the Foreign Office.
